Abigail Rose is a very talented singer/songwriter who is from Nashville, TN. No, I mean she's really from there and not from anywhere else! Did she have any other choice for a profession growing up in Music City? She says no but it's because music is in her blood and she'd be doing it no matter where she was from. I believe her! Performing and writing songs since the age of 13, she tells us her story and plays 2 excellent songs from her recent EP Surpise Valley with "Run Out of Me" and "Run Girl".
